🐙🚢 There is an Octopus in the V&A Waterfront!

Not the aquarium mollusc (that would be a lower case ‘o’), but a beauty moored alongside a quay. This Paul Allen (Microsoft co-founder) ‘megayacht’ certainly deserves the title; at 126 m in length, and with 8 diesel engines powering her twin screws, this behemoth of a boat cost some R3,3 billion back in 2003.

She comes with seven tenders (for landlubbers, a tender is a small boat used to service bigger vessels), two – count ’em, two - submarines, two – ditto – helicopters, several bars, a spa, library, a gym, and a basketball court (!).

Here’s the oddest fact of all: Octopus can carry just 26 guests around the world.

In the accompanying picture, you can spot ’ very own Sea Princess crossing Octopus’s bow. She may be a 140-passenger beauty, but next to this 126-metre giant, she looks like a proper little mini-me! 😂

🥂 Get that billionaire feeling: join us for a cruise on any one of our wide range of luxurious vessels to enjoy some time out on the Atlantic.

🌊⛵ Seeing Cape Town from the ocean is an experience everyone should enjoy. We’ve all seen panoramic pictures of Table Mountain – the view that has fascinated mariners for six centuries – but being aboard a vessel out in Table Bay is the ultimate viewing platform.

☀️ 1-hour Catamaran Cruise provides the perfect opportunity for locals and visitors to our city alike. These are scheduled cruises departing the quayside in the at 09h30, 11h30, 13h30 and at pre-sunset departure time (which varies depending – you guessed it – on the time of sunset each day: make sure you check the time of sailing if this is your choice of cruise.) The V&A is central to the city’s activity, and is easily accessible; parking is never a problem if you arrive in your own or a hired vehicle, and there isn’t an Uber driver on the planet who doesn’t know the way.

🥂 This Table Bay Cruise is an absolute must-do, and creates lasting memories for all those who step aboard our luxurious vessel. There is a refreshment area that serves all manner of chilled beverages, ideal for those warm Cape summer days. Easy online booking. Join us for the photo-op of a lifetime!

🌸☀️ 𝐒𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐓𝐋𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐂 🥂🌊

Spring mornings encourage early rising. After the cold darkness of winter, predawn rising to head to work, gym, run or cycle, the sound of birdlife greeting a warmer sun here in the Cape at around 05h30 currently is music to the ears of the ‘early to rise’ set.

At , spring always sees an increase in the number of guests who join us for our Prosecco Morning Cruise. Whilst not exactly at daybreak, the departure time of 09h30 is still early enough to catch the Atlantic in its morning garb – the breeze refreshing, the ocean life also enjoying the morning sun. Cape Town is resplendent, the mountain bathed in that sun too: viewing perfection.

Add to this array of visual delights a complimentary glass of chilled Prosecco and the day ahead looks equally rosy. 🥂

Book online via our website for your morning treat; it’s ideal for entertaining too. Guests at an office function or private party will enjoy every minute of an invigorating hour at sea. ⚓️💙

At , we don’t just offer scheduled cruises – we charter boats! Given that we also offer multiple scheduled cruises 365 days a year, this fact can sometimes be overlooked. But those in the know make excellent use of our vessels to host a wide range of events.

As a venue, a luxurious catamaran matches anything a land-based venue can offer, but comes with so many more incredible features that chartering your choice of floating platform becomes the ideal solution.

But what about a really big event, you may ask. A company end-of-year party for 300 dancing guests, perhaps? No problem! There is no limit to the number of delightful catamarans you can charter at once, and we can easily accommodate big groups aboard a range of boats. Imagine a floating party with multiple dance floors, all gently circling each other on the Atlantic! It lends itself to innumerable party games, too… take along a RIB and we can facilitate transfers!

All our boats are available for online booking, and for bigger events, get in touch with our reservations team. They are experts at planning charters that tick all the boxes.

You’ve booked your cruise and the excitement is building… but what to wear? ☀️

Well, for starters, we have no minimum dress requirements (other than those dictated by society’s moral standards! 😉). Simply dress according to what you plan to do onboard.

🌊 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗳𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀: Summer attire is ideal! Feel free to wear or bring along a swimming costume, and for the adventurous, we also have SUP boards available.

🥂 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲𝘀: Dress to suit your style, but remember that once the sun sets, a cool breeze can set in. Bring something warm just in case!

👟 𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀: Flat shoes are definitely more suitable than high heels on a boat, for fairly obvious reasons. And with the Cape sun shining down, a hat is highly recommended. Sunscreen on exposed limbs is also an excellent idea!

🏴‍☠️ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀: The host calls the shots! From black tie to full piratical costume and everything in between, anything goes. Just remember that you’ll be out on the Atlantic, so a King Kong fancy-dress outfit might not be ideal for a sunny afternoon! 😂

We take care of the business and safety; you’re onboard to have as much fun as possible. Simply dress accordingly and get ready to enjoy your time at sea!

Explore all our cruise options and book your next adventure via our website. Online booking is much easier and quicker than picking out your outfit!
